Matthew Lewis Quotations

With the second year beginning, the team has come together. The defense looks to improve with a much-improved offense.

With 'Verdict' I was away for six months, touring, with a week in each town. I did not really enjoy that aspect of it.

One of the crucial things to the story of 'Harry Potter's' success is just how well everyone got on. There were never any problems with anybody.

I am fortunate that I get sent scripts and get to meet people I would never have met had I not done 'Harry Potter.' But I feel I had to come out of that show and prove that I am not a one trick pony and can do other stuff.

I am really looking forward to get into it. I am a big fan of the books, so I know what Neville has got coming.

I did enjoy theater. I actually do prefer making films and television, but it was a learning experience for me, because I got into television at 5 and film at 11, and theater was something I completely bypassed.

I don't want to act as if 'Harry Potter' wasn't the most amazing thing because it truly was, but it's also great personally that I'm starting to see signs that I can move on from it and do other stuff that hopefully people enjoy.

I get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around. I get to go to the shop and buy bread and milk, and no one worries me.

I think a lot of people can relate to that school is pretty lousy for a lot of people, and it just shows that you don't have to be perfect and you can still be a hero.

I think actors tend to be in their element when they are pushed out of their comfort zone.

Overall this is a high-quality set of results... and their handset margin of 25 percent is phenomenal.

I was offered 'Strictly Come Dancing.' I turned it down because that celebrity world is not what I'm into.

I was nervous. I was thinking, 'Gee, he's Ralph Fiennes. What an amazing actor, and I can have this scene with him.' But I enjoyed it, you know. That's what I got into acting to do - to push myself and see if I can do these things.

When you're a young man, a young boy, all you want to be is that action hero; you want to be the James Bond, and I got to do that for a bit, and that was great.

We are e-mailing our membership to remind them to vote and let them know who is running, as well as giving them some information on both candidates so our members can make an informed decision,

We had three great running backs so we can stay fresh the whole game.

To be fair, when I started doing 'Verdict' I literally had no idea what I was doing. I wanted to do some theatre, as I wanted to do something different. I wanted to learn and get an understanding of the craft.

I started to see acting as a real science. That really helped me grow as an actor.

The students of the University of Alabama are a large population and we do not want to be ignored,

I've acted since I was 5 years old, so that's still something I want to do.

As an actor, you always want to feel like what you're doing is making a difference to the story.

As a character he is really great because he has got the funny sides and the comedy, but he also is kind of useless sometimes.

There's a massive overlap in their networks, ... Does Vodafone really want to lose its brand at a time when it's starting to roll out its name across all its holdings?

It is strange being the young one, but it is great because I grew up watching these guys and now I get to meet them and work with them,

For me, 'Harry Potter' isn't something that changed my life. It's just something I did that was a lot of fun and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same. Or at least I like to keep it the same.

It's harder to find somebody who likes writing checks than it is to find Nemo. Behavioral change associated with financial services is something that takes time.

It's harder to find somebody who likes writing checks than it is to find Nemo.

I've got my life and 'Harry Potter,' where I travel the world, I make films, I meet amazing people, I do press junkets and stuff. And then I go back home to Leeds, where I live, and I've got the same friends from before.

Nokia will go on conquering the mobile phone market at the expense of its rivals. Nokia has reiterated (its) forecast for the next three years, which makes a refreshing change for companies in this sector.

This is just a slight blip. The markets focused on uncertainties in the world economic environment and a possible slowdown in mobile phone sales.

I live in Leeds, which is about 200 miles north of London, and I get to go and do all the 'Harry Potter' stuff and make great films and be part of this wonderful thing all around the world, and then I get to go home and chill out with my friends in Leeds and go watch the football and go to the pub.

I probably wouldn't mind just doing the Harry Potter movies and then making a career of conventions,

I just met the director for the fifth Harry Potter and they are all really positive about things,

Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, "What makes you laugh?" Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.

I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.

I love making people laugh.

There was never any point at which I was considering leaving Harry Potter. If I were to stop acting, it would have been after.

I'm very much open to the possibilities.

What I've found is that stage is very much a foundation of acting. It's where it all began and you're working with that repetition.

I've always been partial to comedy. I love the idea of working on a comedic scene.

As an actor you really want to push yourself, and there's no better way than to do an intense drama.

The thing that inspires me about Daniel Radcliffe and the thing that I admire the most about him is that he's had a level of fame thrust upon him that's relatively unheard of.

There's not many people on the face of the earth that don't know Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe. He's had that since he was eleven years old, yet he hasn't changed since the day I met him.

I get recognized now and again, but the paparazzi aren't following me around.

I don't feel hunky at all.

Having done television, I was used to either being aware whether I got the part within the same day, or within two, three days max.

A lot of people struggle in their younger years, and I think people can relate to that.

Rupert Grint is exactly like his character Ron, in that they are both incredibly funny, friendly, and loyal.

I think as an actor you're always learning, you're always trying to experience more things.

I'm very professional.

I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.

If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.

It's always been my dream to be in a war film.

Leeds is quite laid-back.

I never contemplated. I just went in there and did my acting. I never thought, "What's the character actually feeling here? What's he trying to get across?" And never looked at it from that classically trained actor's point of view.

The fame stuff, the kind words from websites and things, are very flattering and lovely, but I just wanna act.

The great thing as an actor is that I don't know what my agent is going to call me with next.

Twitter is the limit of me putting myself out there.

You have to prepare for the unexpected. You have to be able to react to things that don't necessarily happen every night, or aren't supposed to happen every night. And you have to react to it in character.

I'm very comfortable being at home and keeping my head down, really. It's nice being invited to night clubs and stuff, which is nice once in a while, but I prefer to kind of keep to myself.

The great thing about filming a film is that you all have your final day's shooting, but you always know that you're all going to be coming back for the premiere.

Many of the narratives can only tend to excite ideas the worst calculated for a female breast: Every thing is called plainly and roundly by its name; and the annals of a Brothel would scarcely furnish a greater choice of indecent expressions. Yet this is the Book, which young Women are recommended to study.

My parents are proud of me being an actor.

I was a short, chubby kid, pretty shy.

I get too excited about football and rugby.

I mean, I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them.

I love playing football. I started playing for a school team, which is fun, and I play a lot of five a side. I nowhere near good enough to go professional but it's definitely one of my main hobbies. I play three times a week.

I never went to drama school.

I'm not a big fan of people knowing too much about me.

You know, girls in general are scarier than Voldemort,

As long as I'm acting and doing what I love, I'll be happy.

I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.

I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.

Alan Rickman told me to do a play, so I did. Because when Alan Rickman tells you do something, you go and do it.

You can stay true to yourself and your friends, you can do the right thing, you can do with your life whatever you want to. I think that's a lovely message.

You don't have to be a Brad Pitt look-alike hero just to be courageous and help out your friends and come through when it really matters. I think everyone can sort of relate to that in some way, particularly back to people's school days.
